Jazz, a type of music, is one of the art forms. It started in the United States. Black Americans, who sang and played the music of their homeland, created jazz.

Jazz is a mixture of African music, work songs, slave songs and religious（宗教的） music. Improvisation（即興表演） is an important part of jazz. This is why a jazz song might sound a little different every time it is played.

Many jazz bands appeared in the late 1800s. They played jazz in bars and clubs in many towns and cities, especially in New Orleans. New Orleans is an international city and people from all over the world come to New Orleans to enjoy jazz.

Jazz became more and more popular. By the 1920s, jazz was popular all over the United States. By the 1940s, you could listen to jazz not only in clubs and bars, but in concert halls. Today, people from all over the world play jazz.

A survey has shown that only one third of people prefer to live in big cities. 1. In a big city or in the country? Maybe, wherever you are, there are advantages and disadvantages.

2. The transportation in big cities is convenient. There are many shopping centers. And the catering(餐飲) industry is developing very well. So it is easier for you to travel, to have dinners or go shopping. But there are some things that make us bored, such as rush hour traffic, noise pollution and fast-paced life.

3. The air is a lot fresher than that of the big cities. There is also a lower cost of living, good scenery, a slower pace and more green trees. You are eager and easy to get close to nature. It would be better if there is a river running through where you live. You will hear long-lost bird calls and see lots of animals and plants. The happy life in the country will make you forget the inconvenience here and the mosquito（蚊子） bite.

Nowadays, returning to nature has become a new trend. There are a lot of people working in big cities and on vacation in the countryside.
